Business Outlook
Pros
Good chance to learn skills that can be used at other employers. A lot of opportunity to create "home-grown" solutions early on at eBay ('04-'06) but eventually things went Enterprise as the company grew. Entrepreneurship and innovation were welcomed skills and used to eBay's advantage.
Cons
Growth opportunities were slow and seemed unfair at times. There was very much a "high school" atmosphere which became very cliquey. Compensation was not on par with skill sets and raises were not in line with industry especially from 2006 to 2009. Talent was not really appreciated at eBay, innovation coming out of CS Van was not recognized as it should have been.
